Apace Vision LED Safety Lights Review

I have been running quite a bit lately, either early in the morning or
at night after I put my kids to bed.Both times require me to run in the dark.While I live in an area with well-lit
sidewalks, I prefer to run in the bike lane on the road (facing oncoming
traffic).In doing so, I need to take
extra precautions in order to ensure cars see me.Clip-on lights, light vests, and reflective
clothing are all great to wear.Some of
these items can be rather pricey like my favorite light vest, the Noxgear 360 (on sale for $52.50, regularly $69.95).

I found a cheaper option though.The Apace Vision LED lights are inexpensive and come in a package of
two.You also get 2 spare batteries, Velcro
straps, and a miniature screwdriver, which you will need to change the
batteries.

You get two LED lights per package.They either come in red or blue.The
lights can either produce a solid light or strobe effect.It is as simple as pressing a button at the
front of the light.I got 2 sets to test
out so I used one blue and one red light on the front of my hydration
backpack.I set the lights to the strobe
effect and then enjoy watching cars put on their brakes because they think they
see a police car in the distance, but it’s just me.It’s the little things that keep me sane on
my long runs.

The lights are weatherproof and the LED lights are really bright.My only complaint is that the Velcro straps
were made to go around a belt or bicycle handlebars so they are really
short.They will not fit around a wrist,
arm, or ankle.The lights clip right to
your clothing or running gear so the short Velcro strap is not a big deal at
all.

Pros:

Bright LED lights

2 modes (solid or flashing effects)

Replacement batteries

Clips to clothes or running gear

Great price

Cons:

The Velcro straps aren’t long enough to go around a wrist,
arm, or ankle.

The
Apace Vision LED safety lights are a great deal at $19.97-$20.97 on
Amazon.What makes the deal even better
is that you get spare batteries, which would probably cost you $6-10 for
two.I was really pleased with the
quality of the materials and the lights seem like they will last for quite a
long time. Apace offers a 30-day money
back guarantee and a 1 year warranty.That way you can test them out risk-free.Running safety is something that you should
take very seriously and being seen is the best thing you can do to ensure your safety.For more information on staying safe when
running in the dark, see one of my old blog post (click here).
